Description

The following argline will cause an error when the variable ${settings.localRepository} represents example C:\Users\Martin Jozef\.m2\repository\etc....
Tried escaping with quotes but it does not work. Moving the repository to a non-space location is not an option.

<argLine>-javaagent:"${settings.localRepository}/org/springframework/spring-agent/2.5.6.SEC03/spring-agent-2.5.6.SEC03.jar" -Xmx700m -Xms350m -XX:PermSize=80m -XX:MaxPermSize=180m</argLine>
